SIR - I would point out to Mohammed Ali, chief executive of QED Bradford that Bradford had a significant Polish and Eastern European population before the Asian people came to settle in Bradford.
They were citizens displaced by the outcome of the Second World War who Britain gave a home to.
I once read that in 1953 Salts Mill employed 2,000 workers, 1,000 of whom were Polish.
Manningham, I believe, still has Eastern European Clubs added to which were the Hungarians who arrived in 1956 after the uprising.
So the Polish and Eastern Europeans that Mohammed Ali is meeting (T&A, January 9) form the second wave of arrivals to Bradford from that part of the world, now part of the EU and free from Russian domination.
